the news came that the Imperial Gov.
eminent is likely to refuse a subsidy
to the Canadian steamship lines be
tween Vancouver and Hongkong and
Australia. 1t is felt here that nc
matter whether the subsidy be given
or not, the Canadian Government will
not recede from its position.
The rumor spread tonight like
wild-fire that Sir Charles Upper has
gone on a political mission to Wash
ington, either in connection with a
settlement of the fisheries question,
or to sound the American Govern
ment on the trade relationship be-
tween the two countries. The min
listers would neither confirm nor deny
the report.
New ORLEANS, May 21.-The Plea
yune's special says: The Board of
Health has officially announced the
appearance of a case of yellow fever.

exodus is expected.
New YoRK, May 21.-The Stars
correspondent states that he is aus
thorized to say that the proposed

calling on the United States to sur
render political refugees.
SAN DIEGO, May 23.-A well en-
dowed college will be built at National
City. The Kimball Bros. have donated
large quantity of land to the college.
1t is reliably stated that the Santa
Fe Co. will put on line of steamers
between this port and Honolulu soon.
The City of Topeka will be one of the
line. An effort that promises success
IS also being made to induce the
Spreckels steamers to touch at this
port and discharge mails for overland
carriage by way of the Santa Fe.
NIAGARA FALLS, May 23.-O'Brien
arose in the morning SO weak as to be
almost unable to stand. He insisted
on leaving for Hamilton by the noon
train. Toronto is not more than 40
miles from Hamilton, and it is under
stood that bodies of Orangemen in
tend to make descent from the
larger city upon Hamilton, and join
with the local Orangemen in making
an attack upon O'Brien's life. The
Nationalist will be organized this
time, and O'Brien approves the idea
that they should be, and that outside
aid should be sent to Hamilton, which
will now probably be done by friends
in Buffalo and other Irish centers.
WASHINGTON, May 23.-The object
of the visit of Sir Chas. Upper, the
Canadian Minister of Finance, is not
understood by such members Of the

the United States relates solely to
matters personal to Sir Charles him
self. The Department of State had
received nothing of an official charac-
ter concerning the visit.
